howdy folks. first, to jack my own thread: for those asking about me, yes, i AM still here, hanging in there, and trying to catch up with individual emails ASAP. i'm not ignoring ya - just been slow going for awhile. (thread jack off).

now then. a bit of humor to kick off the day...

how many cbid forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?


1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

hdking

It WAS good. And very eerily accurate. *shudder* are you psychic?

Lmao, really! Good thread.

Don't forget the select few who will have to argue whether you should have changed the bulb or not (and you know who you are, haha).

And 5 to post that this thread is on the wrong board.

How many C-Biders are there..And wanted to let you know.. I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, but I really don't want to know. JonR

Tony, yous talking bout me again?

and 1 to make an ambiguous post like JonR's 😉

nah, pablo, that's on the OTHER thread. 🙂

This is good, but I feel like Slim should have been mentioned.

don't forget two to blame the light bulb failure on the Bush administration.

2 to make a pic with hubcap in it!!

GIG'EM,

Dan

oh! 12 to post pics of their "top shelf" light bulbs. 🙂 (j/k)

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

3 to say "do a post search for light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"




Tsk, tsk, tsk, Robby. Read again.
Slim WAS mentioned several times if not by name!

Cavallo, isn't there always someone waiting in the wings with his Wacko Jacko glove ready to "slap"?

Good list!

;) blood

What's a forum?

Dave

i can't take credit for the list, though -- i got it in my email and it was about online boards in general; i just tweaked it a tad for cbid. 🙂

i ain't sayin' NOTHIN' 'bout no slappin' glove! 😉

Leave it on or off?
